This is the same problem that I have attempted to report with regards to the 
Athlon processors. It's especially nasty when you mix scsi modules + the ide 
stuff. I hard compiled everything into the kernel before, but I still have 
problems.

Just now my computer crashed when I was attempting to mount my floppy drive. 
In fact, it crashes all the time (when in X) when I attempt to mount my floppy 
drive during or after high IDE activity.

See attached messages for more information.

Hi Andre, hi list!

I'm also having random lockups with an ASUS A7V266-E Mainboard, Athlon
XP 1800+.
Chipset is the VIA KT266A, kernel 2.4.18 (SuSE version 2.4.18-58, from
SuSE 8.0).
Nothing in the logs.

Andre, could you verify your possible answer? Any results?

Thanks, Richard
